Transcribed from British Library, Sloane manuscript 3847.

This manuscript represents one of the earliest manuscripts of theKey of Solomon (Clavicula
Salomonis), dated 1572.Mathers places his earliest manuscript, the Latin MS Add. 10862, at around
the same time, namely "about the end of the sixteenth century", however the British Library catalogue
describes Add. 10862 at 17th century.

The present manuscript is in English and occasionally Latin, with orations in Latin. Its most
notable characteristics are the strong Christian elements not found in the Colorno class of
manuscripts. Although it has many parallels with two other English manuscripts, Additional Ms.
36674 (also mid- to late-16th ce) and Sloane Ms. 3645, it does not seem to be directly related. Rather,
it appears to be an independent translation, probably from the Latin. By contrast, Add. 36674 is much
more succinct almost as if it were abridged.

It is interesting that the name of Ptolomy the Grecian in this edition is somehow related to the
name read by Mathers as "Iohé Grevis" or "Iroe Grecis" found in Add. MS 10862, Sl. 1307, and other
texts. Grillot de Givry (Witchcraft, Magic & Alchemy, 1931, p. 103) cites him as "Tozgrec"

The prologue also occurs inLa Clavicola del Re Solomone(an Italian version of the Grimorium
Verum) as well as an Italian version of the Key of Solomon found in Sloane manuscript 1307 titled 'La
Clavicola di Salomone Redotta et epilogata nella nostra materna lingua del dottissimo Gio
Peccatrix.'

Note the use of the term "artanus" or "arthany" (compare with modern term "athame") for one
of the ritual implements. The drawing shows this with a curved blade, distinct from but similar to the
black-handled and white-handled knives ("cuttellus niger" and "cuttellus albus"). Other manuscripts
show it drawn more like a sickle. Mathers' translation from Add. 10862 (fol 125r, Lat. Arctauus;
Mathers, Key of Solomon,Book II, chapter ix) reads "Sickle or Scimitar". The term evidently derives
from the Latin wordartavus (quill knife or penknife).

Also very interesting is the invocation of "Biled, son of Aneds, your lord" [=Bilt/Bilid/Pilit
(also Bileth?)] which corresponds to a conjuration found inMafteah Shelomoh, the Hebrew Key of
Solomon (Gollancz, 45a. It also occurs in British Library Oriental MS 14759). It is found in the
section titled Book of the Seal of BILT (BILID). A book by this name is also mentioned in
Weyer'sPseudomonarchia Daemonum (cf, 36 Gaap). This may be a corruption of Lilith, on which see
Kieckhefer, Forbidden Rites(University Park Pennsylvalia, 1998, p. 242) "... Lylet, per honorem
patris tui Arieth...", however I am inclined to think that Kieckhefer's reading of "Lylet" is corrupt
because of the frequency with which the "Bileth" form occurs, even in his manuscript.

 Heare begiñeth the prologue of ye Booke of Clauicles of Salomon contayninge the
secrets of all secrets of all crafts magicall of Nigromancy, the wch booke of craftes as,
Ptolomeus the most wisest philosopher in greece, doth testify, Remember my Sonne 1. Ad.
10862: Iah.
Roboam more dearer to me then Isaack, for I had all my Scyence of ye creator of all
creatures. Roboam sayd what haue I deserued, why should I in any case be likned to my 2. Ad.
father. Salomon, sayd, I haue reuelation by an Angell of God, it chanced one night, in my 10862:
sleepe I named the holy name of godIsaack1 and I desired to haue the ineffable wisdome of Homadiel;
Sl. 1307:
god, for ye Angell Raziell2 appeared to me, in my sleepe, shewinge this eñarration gently, Omadiel.
Salomon. shoot (?) or tye the secretts of secrets, for it shall be time ytall wisdome shall be
destroyed and shalbe hydde and shall come to nothing, and ye shall know that time is nye.
I awaked from my sleepe and rose up as a man being dronke and fearefull from his
dreames and I remembered what should be done in this busines, & consideringe yt all
science should, be lest in one day, I did gather before me all the sciences of wise men and
all the craftes of ye prophets passed ytI could get, that were concerninge this time and yetime
to come, and I found many confusions & albeit, the artes mathematicall were by ye power of
god yet there was noe arte perfect, and I saw it openly, but by the reuelation of ye Angell,
I made[3v]a certaine secret worke and most secrets where I have hidde refined and
locked up the secret of secrets, of all magicall craftes wthout ye which any secret of this
Science is not complete and therfore I haue reformed and kept, least this secret should come,
at any season into the hands of fooles, take therfore an example my sonne Roboam, haue
therfore one craft prepared or els some experiment of thine owne or else if all preparamts be
in them of other mens soe that ye dayes and ye howres be well ordinated of th~ and doubtles
the worke wthout this booke is Deceitfull, for in it lyeth hidde all secrets, wthout ye wch
nothinge can be done, and as I say of our craft, soe I say of all experiments and arts ytbe in
ye world, and that shalbe to come, and to this my worke I haue not put the clauicle secrets;
therfore my soñe Roboam, I command thee by my Blessinge that thou thinkest to haue
of me thy Father, to cause a caskett of Iuery [Ivory] to be made, and therin to put this my
clauicle, and keepe it sure, and when I shall departe, let them be cast alltogether into my
sepulcher that they may not come into the handlinge of fooles, and as he commanded it was
done,
and when his sepulchere had stoode a long time, certeine philosophers of Babilon that
were his fellowes his scholers and of his counsell, renew his sepulchere to make him new
againe,[4r]for the honour of soe wise a man to make him more goodlier, and that his
rememberance should spread abroad, all ye world, therefore when his tombe was Broken
uppe to be renewed againe, they found there his casket of Iuery wherein was the clauicle of
secrets, and the philosophers when they had this clauicle, they could not understand it, for
obscurity of wordes and exhibition of science; for they were not worthy of soe great science;
amongst them was one a very wise philosopher, a grecian names Ptolomeus, he went
into his chamber, and began to weepe bitterly strikinge his handes upon his brest sayinge,
what haue I deserued that I cannot understand nor expound the science of my Father and my
lord, Salomon would keepe noe secret from me, therefore why be these wordes soe obscure,
wherefore is this, why should it be, that I should not know it: he kneeled down and held up
his handes towards heauen and with a prosterate body prayed unto god: sayinge these
wordes followinge;
ô high creator of all creatures and lord that knowest all things, that gauest to Salomon
the sonne of King Dauid all science for thy most holyest and incomprehensible clemency,
Father omnipotent, graunt me reuelation for thy mercy and pitty, that I howbeit unworthy
and most wretched siñer may haue intellection and knowledge of ye secrets confused and
obscured ineffably in this Clauicle,
and incontinently (?) an Angell appeared unto him sayinge ô thou greatian Ptolomeus,
doe not marueill that the secrets[4v]of Salomon be obscure and Darke to thee; because our
Lord would not that soe great a science should come into the handes of fooles; therefore
promise me that ye will shew it noe creature liuinge, exept he be sufficient in science and
operation, and ye fyerfull Angell sayd unto him, looke and reade the clauicle, the words that
were obscure unto you, be made open in all thinges; and the Angell ascended by the cloude
of fyre into heauen, from whence he came forth, then Ptolomeus the greacian knew it was
the Angell of our lord, and he reioysed with much gladnes, and read salomons workes
transmuted, and he praysed our lord that his worke should not come in to the hands or
handlinge of fooles, and he sayed,
I coniure him, that shall haue these secrets, by the bloud of ye Body and by the Body
of Christ and by the heart of his Body, and by all thinges that he desireth and purposeth to
doe in this world; to deliuer it and open it to noe man, and if he open it, let them be wise. I
pray god that yt he desireth may neuer come to passe and effect; and as Ptolomeus the
grecian coaduanced by the grace of god hath made cleare the profound and obscure secrets
of this arte, as he was that yt foloweth, that were closed in the cheast of Iuory, and these be
the words of ye said Clauicle that he declared marueilously in these two Bookes followinge.

[Chap. 1. Of ye howres and poynts nessesary in experiments and artes

mathematicall and magicall]

Here begiñeth the first Booke of the secrets of the Clauicleas the most wisest greacian
Ptolomeus, doth testify, which dayes, howres, and poyntes nessesary and experiments
magicall. The begiñinge of our clauicle, is to feare god, and to honour him with contrition of
heart, and with great deuotion, to worship him, and call upon him, in all thunges that we will
doe and worke, and soe god will gouerne us in the Right path, if ye will finde any thinge of
the foresaid sciences, first ye must ordaine a sure order of dayes, of ye changinge of the
moone, and of howres, and soe ye may come to your purpose, of ye howres how many be in
the day and night .24. and in euery howre one of ye 7 planets ruleth and reigneth. and it
begiñeth with Saturn is the highest of ye planets, and under him is . under him is .
under him is the . under the soñe reigneth . under venus . under him is the . that is
the lowest of all the planets, ye must keepe the order of the planets one this mañer; first
that is first, in order he reigneth and ruleth first, in the first, howre, one saterday betweene
the grispinge of the day, or the morninge and the rising of ye sonne; in the 2d houre in
the 3d . in the 4th the . in the 5th in 6th . in the 7th the in the 8th . in the 9th in the
10th . in the 11th the . in the 12th . in the 13th . and in ye 14th the . and soe fourth of
euery howre, betweene the day and ye night[6r]untill 28 howres, and afterwarde reyneth
in the first, howre of ye same day of , then in ye 2d day of reigneth and soe of euery
one of the howres, betweene the day and the night; untill 28 howres of the same day of
then ruleth in the first howre of the same day; reigneth the . in the 2d in the first howre
of ye monday reigneth the . in the 2d , and soe forth of eche one of them. the course and
the order of ye planets expleted, obserued and kept and knowne: whensoeuer ye will doe or
prepare any craft or experiment, it is necessary that ye doe after that course in howres,
poyn?? and obseruinge of ye moone beneath written; what the howre of and of the be
best to make arts magicall and Nigromanticall, and to speake with spirits and to find theft;
but it were better to doe this aforesaid in the dayes and howres appropriated to them and
they reigninge, and likewise in the first howres of that dayes but yet, in whatsoeuer day the
foresayd howres doe appeare, whether by day or by night, it is best to doe & prepare the
foresaid crafts as it shall be contayned in these chapters aforesaid, and if ye forgett to doe
these thinges beforesayd, ye can neuer attayne to the perfection of your arte, the howres of
the sonne, of and of and that of the same day whatsoeuer day they doe appeare in ..
[sic] best to prepare and to proue all experiments of grace loue and impetracion, and of
inuisibilitie as it is contayned in there chapters, soe that be added aboue all preparaments
that is contayned of such a matter in our worked contayned in there chapters, and if[6v]it
should be otherwise, it should neuer haue strength nor vertue, the howres of and of and
there dayes in whatsoeuer howre they appeare, be best to make experiments of hatred, and
wronge, and adde the begiñinge of that, that is contagned of this matter in his proper chapter
 heare followinge, and soe it should haue effect; the howre of and his day in whatsoeuer
day he appeareth betweene day and night is good to prepare all experiments of deceite or
mockes that is seene to be of impossibility, addinge first the preparaments of this our worke,
the howres of the sonne, of and of and there dayes in whatsoeuer day they appeare, be
good to prepare all experiments extraordinary, that be not perfect of euery kind, addinge
first the preparatments of our worke; likewise the Rubrice of yehowres, if ye thinke it
greeuious to finde the howres and such other, consider the moone from the prime t~ ix and
aplye her soe, that she be in some of the foresaid dayes in his first howre, betweene the first
re?? of ye morninge and the risinge of the same; if the howre be looked for, the art magicall
or for theft let the moone be upon that day ordayned in a sine of the earth or of ye ayre, if for
loue, or for invisibility let it be ordayned upon that day in the signe of fyer, likewise the
rubrice of the howres, also if ye think it painefull to doe, behold well the moone for her p?
unto the begiñinge of her declinacion, and in one of the dayes, let the sonne be in equall
number, that is to say that the moone be in the signe the sonne is in; then ye may doe or
write, or prepare all experiments that ye will[7r]make, signifyinge fyer in a certaine chapter
of our worke, and then in the foresayd dayes howres and points and lunacions ye must make
the foresaid artes or sciences, soe that ye keepe an order first, of this our worke.

[Chap. 2] Of arts magicall or nigromancicall or of some spirits how they

should be ordered.

If ye will doe or prepare any arte magicall or nigromancicall or any experiment for
some spirits, haue the craft or experiments before rehearsed, and ordinated with the dayes
and howres and all thinges nessesary, and see that nothinge lacke, or els it shall be, the
spirits will not appeare, then for the wordes of that arte, then rise uppe and take the sword
that ye made the circle withall and make with the same sworde, after the mañer of a crosse
in the ayre as though ye smitt the ayer, and put your right hand with the foresayd sword
upon canderias or pentacles beinge upon thy breast, and say with a lowe voyce, the oration
followinge, with the exorsyzation, before ye say the oration, suffumigate your self and your
fellowes in the circle, all with the fumigations as it followeth, and sprincle your self, youyr
fellowes and the place, with water and such Isope [=hyssop] as it is said after: after that, let
the coniurer sit downe in his place and comfort his fellowes, and after that let him say the
oration and the coniuration, and note this, that when ye haue said the oration, the diuills
[=devils] will feare, and by yevertue of ye pentacles, will come to doe your will, that noe
spirit can be of power and preuayle against you, and consider that the pentacles haue not this
vertue onely, but they haue innumerable vertues as it followeth heareafter, in the first how
pentacles should be made;

When this is done ye shall see the spirits cum and the diuells like unto emperours
entringe into the Citye first te trumpeters shall come et patores 2dly like soldiers or
domicelli, 3dly and lastly there king cometh and before him all kind of Instruments and of
vices and dulcyflions orgaynes and harmony of sweet melody, then the coniurer, he seinge
them shall shew him the pentacle that be upon the brest of the coniurer couered with a cloth
of gold, when he hath seene the pentacle the prince and ruler of them incontinently
followeth down upon[22v]his knees before the coniurer, and will say, Sr. what will ye, for
what did ye cause me to come? Then the coniurer somewhat disdayning, shall command all
thinges to be pacified and silence to be had, and then he shall renew fumigations and cause a
goodly smellinge sauoure to be made and when silence is made, he shall uncouer the
pentacles, hearinge great miracles of diuers thinges in the world, of prophesie and of all
science, then the coniurer shall uncouer the pentacles, and shall ask of ye prince what he will
and by and by, he shall graunt it, whether one spirit alone, or els whether 2 be called forth,
they will doe the same, the Coniurer shall say by and by,

[License to depart]

Let euery one of you turne into his place peaceably, and peace be between us and
you.

And then let him say St. John's GospellIn principio erat &c, credo in deum. And let
them goe out of the circle, one after another, and wash there faces of the exorcised water, as
it is sayd after and let them goe an other way and doe there deedes or operations.

And knowe this, that this coniuration only and they were bound in Chaynes of Iron or
of wood, they cannot tarry, but come foorth if they be Coniured and held by some meanes
thay they cannot come, adde in Coniuratione that they send incontinently there
pursenaunts[23r]and messengers to you shewinge you what they will doe, if they be any
thinge rebellinge or studdorne against the coniuror, and will not come let there names be
written in paper and let the paper vitempertur of clay and dust. Let new fyer be made, and
put in fyre of brimstone and of euill and horrible sights making a stinging sauour holding the
paper ouer fyer sayinge

Coniuro te ignis per illum qui Contremestere facit orbem quod istos spiritus
Comburas et cale facias ut in suis per sonis Consentrent ineternam.

Then cast it in the fyer and say,

Maledicti blasphemati sitis perpetualiter et eternaliter et Nulla requies suit in vobis

hora aliqua nec de diem nec de nocte nisi statim veneritis obedientes verbis que
dicuntur de illo qui contre mescere (?) facit orbem, et per hec nomina et in nomine
istorum nominam quibus omnibus creatura contremit humiliter obedit et per
timorem et panorem eorum omnis creatura contremit et in eis fulgura et tonitria [?

per eorum virtutem in stagium ignis et sulphuris et usque ad profundum abbissi
religamus eternali concremandos

Then without any tarryinge they will come one euery side, sayinge, Sr. command us
what ye will and deliuer[23v]us out of the payne. Then in that howre write there names
againe, and make to them a sweet smellinge sauour, and shew them the pentacles and aske
what ye will, and when ye be answered say,

Per virtutem pentaculorum dum ipsis pentaculis et verbis (?) creatoris obedientes
fuistis, pax inter nos et vos et condonati citis fragrantia odorum suauissima ita in
pace et cum benedictione illius qui vobis scire talia dedit, parati semper venire qum
vocati estis sine solemnitate aliqua obseruatam, Amen.

And by this Conjuration ye may Consecrate the booke and all that ye will;

[Chap. 3] How and by what manner the pentacles be made whereupon the
science consisteth.

In this Clauicle or Canderiarum consisteth all the Science of this Clauicle, for there,
all the sience beginneth and therfore in the operation of this booke the Clauicle [Clavicle]
doth take his effect, and he that will be perfect in this craft, let him begin soe as it is
declared of the pentacle and of the same pentacles be certayne exorcizmes and names
ineffable and carecters and signes of all the science, therefore, in them the whole science of
all this art lyeth hydd the pentacles or canderie be[24r]uncertayne with most glorious and
holyest names they were written in the tables of Moyses and Salomon by deuine reuelation
had them and gathered them together, and consecrated them to all necessity of mans body,
and for there safegard.

Of Pentacles

The Pentacles be made upon day, and on his howre the moone exconiunctione in
the signe of the Ayre or of ye earth beinge equall with yesonne in angiment pardica (?), for if
the sonne be in the signe of the **ether in ariete [Aries] and the Moone be in the same and
soe of other signes haue a house or secrett chamber cleane and goodly wherin shall none
inhabit, but the cheefe coniurer and his fellowes, and make a fumigation there and sprinckle
it with ye water, as it is sayd and let the time be cleare, and haue your paper or more of
 virgin paper and begin that howre to write the foresayde pentacle of noble collour as is
emabrium or celestem coniured and exorsized as it is sayd followinge, the pen and the Inke,
let them be writt and other thinges to be exorsized, and when they be written perfectly, that
howre if they be not completed, doe not cease untill they be fullfilled when ye may. Then
take some noble cloth of silke wherin ye may hold the foresayd pentacles, and haue there an
earthen pot great, and full of coales, and let there be of ligno mastico masculo& ligno aloe,
coniured, and let ye coniurer be cleare[24v]as it is meete, and haue there prepared Arthanum
nupatum in the joyce of pimpernell and the blood of a goose made and completed upon
mercuries day in the augementinge of the moone where upon let 3 masses be songe with
gospells and fumigate it with fumigations of ye knife, that ye must cut and make maicum
Isopi [hyssop], with your whole minde and humble deuotion, sayinge these Psalmes with ye
oration followinge:

Domine deus noster, Domine Deus meus in te speraui [Ps7]; Celi enarrant [Ps18];
Dominus illuminatio [Ps26; Deus Deus meus respice [Ps21]; Beati quorum
[remissae sunt iniquitates] [Ps31]; Miserere mei [Deus] [Ps50]; Afferte Domino
filii [Ps28]; Deus iudicium tuum [Ps71]; Deus in nomine tuo, Salvum me fac
[Ps53]; Ecce nunc benedicto [*benedicite] Domini [Ps133].
Adonay, sanctissime el, poteus ou, piissime quies Alpha et Omega, qui omnia in
sapientia condidisti, qui Abraham primum fidelem in seruum elegisti eius semen
sicut stellarum celi multiplicasti, qui morsi seruo tuo in ignea flamma de medio
rubi [Ex 3:2] appariusti, et per nomen sanctum tuum quod est, Echio, Affe, Eche,
ei,reuelasti, qui populum super mare facile pedibus ambulare fecisti qui Moysi
serui tuo in monte Sinay, Saluatoris dedisti, qui Salomon filio regis dauidis
precuntis hominibus sapientiam tribuisti et presentia pentacula[25r]sine canderias
pro tutumire (?) corporis et anime saluationis eo misericorditer reuelasti tuam
suppler adoro maiestatem et suppliciter adoro cordiam ut in virtate tua ista
pentacula sine canderia consecrantur, et preparentur quemadmodum 9ueuit (?
consueuit?), et virtutem quam optimere debeant obtineant, per te sanctissime
Adonaycuius regnum et imperium permansit in secula seculorum, Amen.

Say this 3 dayes continuall upon the foresayed pentacles and cause 3 masses to be
sayed of yeHoly Ghost, and one of Our Lady, and afterward put the foresaid signes, in a
silke cloth with goodly sauours, and put them up in a cleane place. And when it is neede, ye
may worke as it is said of the artes magicall, of thy cloth were decked with gold it were of
more efficacye, and when they be put in a cleane place, fumigate them and sprincle them
with water and Isope [hyssop] and soe let them alone. They haue immumerable vertues as it
is contained heareafter.

If ye coniure any spirit in whatsoeuer parte of the world he be, whether he be in mans
body, or any other place, he will obey thee, and if ye constraine any spirit to come before
you and when ye haue shewed him yesecret pentacles, there is none dare say against
your[25v]minde without any sacrifice giuen to him, they haue not only vertue in this, but also
in divers necessities, they succoreth the bearer, they be good against parrells, of ye earth and
 ague, against all langowres, and necessities and against all enemies visible, and invisible,
against drinkinge and venome, or poyson [poison], against maleficitatos, against feare and
cuttinge against subtill thunders and lightninge & tempests, and in every place wheresoever
ye be ye shall be sure and safe all the time of his life, both day and night, and in euery
howre you shalbe safe, watchinge, sleepinge, drinkinge and eatinge, goeinge and standinge,
and in doinge all your busines, in battell in fightinge, and ye shalbe invincible in euery
thinge, and noe man shalbe of power at the time to withstand you. They give grace and
victory of lovers and enemies visible and invisible, and by the vertue of them, the fyer is
quenched and shall not passe your commandement, and the water standeth still, all creatures
were made in the recommendation and feareth by there, feare, and all thinges heavenly,
earthly, and infernall doth obey them and all perills of the world: be delivered by the healpe
of God[26r]cum patre et filio, et sic honor et gloria in secula seculorum. Amen.

Now we shall beginne the Science of this booke.

First before the inception of this booke worke let Arthanus be made, of the which
incedat manicum sprculi,1 and for this ye must in euery operation of this booke, worke with
1. Cp. Ad.
holy water. After that ye must consider the dayes and the howres, in the which the foresayd 36674
pentacles shall be purged or made, and the midds of all, let the maiesty be with angells like chap. 5:
as he shall come to judge both quicke and dead, and in the circut of the maiesty, let the Before you
names of the ineffable be writen and of ye Angells. And when these be fullfilled, let there be begynn
your worke
made and ordayned as in this chapter is contayned. And when ye will worke in this science, you must
of this Clavicle, haue over with you in every operation these pentacles, and by the healp of haue A
god, you operation shall haue effect, and forst in this chapter, all science consisteth, and if knyfe,
they consider of euery chapter of the second booke in ye which ye shall find all documents made as ys
before
in this chapter, and for this in this chapter, consisteth the beginninge and ende of all the sayde,
science of the Clavicle of Salomon, and if ye understand the chapter heareafter written, how wherewith
of the worke of [26v]Images of Astronomy the beginninge and the endinge of all the whole the handle
science of theClavicle, in this chapter is comprehended by this chapter of worke of Images, of the
sprincle
and by this of ye whole science comminge to effect and in euery worke ye may be perfect. must bee
cutt....
Heare followeth the forme and manner of the pentacles or canderarin distireco~es.

These pentacles and ineffable names should be glorified with great honor and beloued
and ought to be seene by noe meanes, but with great deuotion, for they be holynes of all
holynes, for the defence of the body and the soale [soul].

After that suffumigate the place. Let him be fayer and private as ye shall see after of
places, with such fumigations and sprincle the place with water and Isope, at [sic] it shall be
sayd. And if it be necessary in this experiment of this booke to doe any other thinge, doe as
it is sayd of all preparaments with such experiments as is contayned[30r]before, and after, in
 the chapters of the first and the 2d booke. Afterward when ye haue ordayned such an

When that is sayd, the spirit will shew him by and by the matter that he seeketh openly
and before such a worke, let such a Coniurer be, as ye shall reade, and if the experiments be
such that the Caracters be written, and it is necessary howsoeuer the experiments be to finde
theft, if it passe the preparaments of this experiment, let him doe as it is contayned in this
Chapter, and doe all other necesseties or Solemnities necessary in such craft, or experiment,

[chap. 5.] How experiments of Invisibilitie showld be prepared.

If ye desire to make an experiment of invisibilitie, do yt experiment as it is contayned

in it. If ye day [&] the howre be well ordinate, and if the day ^& the howre be not, take the
day and the howr as ye reade. [Compare with prologue.] And if it be necessary that this
experiment be written all in virginne paper with a pen as it is said and if such an experiment
be with the Coniuration of Convocation, before ye make your convocation, say these verses
in your heart:

Stalbontem nacherim Assoy elingit gabelin, Semenoy meme nobal balbonetem

Then make your Invocation surly and make it well, if it be neede make a Circle in
such an experiment, make such as it is sayd beneath of circles. And if it be needfull to write
with any[31r]bloud, make it, as it is sayd, of the bloud of ye backe. And if it be neede to write
carecters, write the masse, as we haue written hearafter of carecters. And let this experiment
be prepared, if any invocation be made, adde at the end of these wordes,

And if ye haue an experiment of invisibility, in any other meanes haue that experiment
prepared as ye shall finde written, withall, solemnityes necessary in that experiment, doe as
it is contayned in the first and 2d booke as through[31v]all, and when ye haue done the
solemnitys of all the foresaid chapters, doe this experiment surely, and soe ye may finde it,
and if ye should doe it otherwise, it should neuer come to effect.

[Chap. 6.] How experiments of Love should be ordayned.

Whosoeuer will make or prepare any thing upon any woman, first he must be such as
a Coniurer ought to be, then let him take that experiment that he desireth to make and doe as
it is contayned in it, and if the day doe fayle and the howre, doe it one such a day and howre
as it shall be sayed. And if this experiment be with an Image of wax, or of some other
condition, before the Image be made, let the wax be such as we shall speake of.

Then say ouer the wax, when it is prepared these verses or charmes,

 When that is done you shall forme your Image as it is sayd in that experiment, and if it
be necessary to[32v]write any other thinge upon the Image, ye must write aboue the Image
with a needle or a pen, such as is sayd beneath of them, and if it be necessary to fumigate
the Image, let it be with such as we shall speak of, if any other necessities or solemnities, be
necessary, let them be as it is contayned, and if any Invocation be one the Image, when that
is sayd after the order of ye experiment in the ende of that Invocation, let a fume be made
aforesaid and hold the Image over that fume and say,

O, tu Oriens rex egregie qui in Oriente regnas et imperas et superas, Ô, tu

confirmetis ut virtutem quam obtinere debeat, obtineat et quam obtamus,

That done ye shall coniure againe your coniurations, tha [sic] be in that experiment,
and if ye woman come in that howre it is well, if she come not then put that Image under thy
beddes head, and ye shall see, before the 3d day, great marvayles of ye woman, that shall
come incontinently to thee, or shall send her messenger to you, and if ye doe this that is sayd
above any preparament of such a craft, chaynes of Iron shall not hold her, if the Image be
p'gid [pingere? = painted], or if the Caracters be written, or the names, and he tell not with
whome they be written or be p'gid, ye must write with such a thinge, as it is sayd after of
pen and Inke,and soe of virgin paper, and if ye have neede to write with a needle, write with
such a one as we spake of, and if the day and the howre be not, let the day and ye howre be
taken as it is sayd, and let all solemnities that be necessary for such an experiment, be in that
day as it is contayned in the chapters of ye first and second Booke.[33v]And such an
experiment prepared, let it be worked and prepared one such an howre, compleate, as it is
sayd after and then, let your experiment be completid yt the wemen be trangents, and if thy
experiment be of powder, such condition that powder should be made of any thinge for to
cast upon her, or to be given her to eate or drinke, let the solempnities be made the dayes
and the howres in our Chapters, then ye shall say over the powder this Coniuration,
whatsoever part of ye world ye be in, and in whatsoever names ye call,

Coniuro vos et contestor vos demones qui potestatem habetis, subuertendi corda
hominum et mulierum per illud qui vos, formant et creauit et destruere potest
quatenus in hac nocte super rem istam et sine mora consecretis ipsam rem
quemadmodum conuenit et virtutem habeat coarcendi omnes nomines et mulieres
quos vel quas ad amorem meum desidero.
Then worke upon such a matter such an howre as it is sayd The howre and his day is best fo[r]
after, when any experiment of love, shall be written or a love. Also observe the mone [Moon]
for her prime unto her beginninge of
 figure or a Caracter to shew unto women, or to passe
foorth, or to touch her, ye must doe it[34r]after the howres, her declination is that she be in the
and after our chapters, that shall be necessary in such same signe that the Sonne [Sun] is in,
soe it, be a friday signe, on a friday
experiments when the caracter figure or Image, shall be then doe or write prepared all
prepared written in paper. When these shall be prepared experiments of love towards the
because of use, or because of touchinge a woman, say North.
upon these thinges prepared this Coniuration:
Coniuro vos, per illud vos creare et creari nissit et per tremendum domine Iudicii et
per illum qui reget orbem terre et qui contremessere facit omnem creaturam per in
hac die et nocte consecretis et confirmatis hos carecteris vel, figuris vel Imagines

talem quod quicunque hunc figuram vel dedero vel monstrauero vel de ipsis
tetigiro vel super ipsam transire potero vel fecero me possit amare et deligere et me
amet et diligat et semper me solum cupiat omnes alios pro nihil, habeat tota sua
cogituro et requies sit super me.

After that keepe this experiment under an aulter [altar], and ye shall worke such and
howre as it is sayd after of places.

[Here followeth another way whereby it is brought to pass, that she shall
dream of thee.]

And if you will that your experiment shall be true, ineffable and while ye doe say the
Invocation for dreaminge, behold the ayre, the moone and the starres of the firmament,
[34v]standinge in your chamber, say to the ayre in your heart, or minde with a low voyce,

Then doe that experiment as ye ought withall his solemnities of our Chapters of the
first and second Booke, and soe it shall appeare true as it is sayed before.
[The experiment or operation of the Apple.] This
section
occurs as a
separate
chapter in
Kings MS
288 with
the above
title. It
 doesn't
occur in
Ad36674.
The present
manuscript
simply has
"Apple." in
the margin.
If ye will make any experiment with an apple, prepare that day and howre, as ye may
see after, and have an apple fayre, and immaculate or some other frute [fruit], in thy hand in
some secret place; or before ye take him from the tree. Sprincle him with water and Isope
[hyssop] as it is said, and fumigate him with a fumigation.[35r]

Afterward say unto the apple or frute, this followinge,

Deus qui fecisti Adam et Euau, ex 4or elementis de igne, aere, aqua et terra, et
fecisti duam de costa ipsius a de quam dedit ei ad comendum, de fructu et fecit
eum precare ita vo qui vel q~ de isto fructu comederit vel viderit vel tegigerit
semper votum faciat meum. Coniuro te pomum vel fructum per ista nomina elya,
ely, et perMichaelem et Gabrielem et Raphaelem et per eum qui te creauit et per
virtutem eius et nomina eius ineffabilia. Joth, Heth, He, Vau, Ioazar, patri,
Va, Va, Vah, Vay, agla, anareneton, per que creauit omnem seculum ut qui vel
que de isto pomo cõmederit vel viderit vel tegigerit nulla requies sit in eis nisi
totam meam compleuerit voluntatem.

And if ye ought to wright any other thinge in the apple or frute, let it be written with a
needle or a poyntell such as we speake of, and ye shall worke upon such an oration as it is
sayd, after such experiments of love be made in lookinge onely the sight and the secrets of
women, let such experiments be made and prepared in howres attribuated unto love, if ye
doe as it is sayd, and if ye prepare such experiments they shall appeare very sure.

[Chap. 7.] How experiments of grace and impetration should be prepared.

[35v]

Yf ye purpose to make an experiment of grace & impetration ye must consider this

experiment how it is made, and if the dayes howres fayle in it, ye must take them as it is
sayd of ye Chapters of howrs, and if ye reade not of what ye ought to make the experiment
of grace, let it be written of that, that is say after of pen and Inke, and let it be suffumigated
and sprinkle it withwater and Isope, and if in that breve the carecters be written, let them be
made like as it is sayd of the writinge of carecters, and let that breve be put in a cloth of
silke and let this be sayd over it following:

Adonay, sanctissime el potens qui es alpha et Omega, per tuam misericordiam

qui plenes es nomine et veritatis qui dixisti petite et dabitur vobis dona nobis
domine ut in virtute tua hoc experimentum consecretur et prficiatur venit de sancta
sede adonay qui in isto breue virtutem imprauit.
 That donne let that breve be put under a Cloth of ye aulter [altar], for one day and an
night. Afterward if ye will obtayne grace and favour of your freindes, let such one be
ordayned opened in thy hand, and ask boldly one such an howre, as ye may see after of
howres,[36r]and he shall have noe power to deny thee the grace, that ye aske him; and
without this document, any other experiment of grace and impetration should be nothinge
worth, and in whatsoever breve, or coniuration it be, let this verse be written or sayd at the
ende, and it shall be as we have sayd.

S. Sator, arepo, tenet, opera, rotas, Ioth, heth, he, vau, y. hac, Ia, Ia, Ia, papes,
Ioazar, anarenetõnomina sancta ad implete votum Amen. Baltazar, Iapher,
Melchior [i.e. the 3 magi], Abraham, Isaac, et Jacob, Sydrac, Misaac et
Obednego [Abednego], Marcus, Matheus, Lucas, Johannes, Ioron, Sizon, Tiris
anfraton, adestote omnes in adiutorium ut a quacunque creatura voluere possim
graciam impetrare.

And soe such a breve shall come to effect, by gods healpe.

[Chap. 8.] How experiments of envy and destruction should be ordayned.

The experiments of envy and destruction, may be any wayes. Consider, the
experiments that ye will make whether, it be done with an Image or by some other meanes,
and if the day doe fayle, let them be taken as it is written after, and make an Image, & when
that is made, let him befumigate it with an horrible fumigation, and if it need to write any
thing[36v]upon the foresayd Image, write with a needle and sprinkle it with horrible water,
as it is said of water, and Isope, and afterward say upon the Image, these wordes followinge,

Arator, Lapidator, temptator, somniator, subuersor, iquator, signator,

sudator, Combustor, pugnator, ductor, seductor, Commestar duorator, vos
omnes socii et ministri odii et distructionis et seratores discordie et qui libentor
talia opera faciatis et tractetis eo quod est, necc~e vos coniurare ideo vos coniuro,
et deprecor quod administretis et consecretis ista imaginem et odium fiet inter tales
N. et N.

Then let it be put with an horrible savore by all ye might, then let the image be made
on such an howre, and if the experiments of hatred and destruction be done otherwise as it is
with carecters, or in names or in touchinge them that ye love or in wordes, or be any other
meanes, the dayes and the howres be necessary, and if any other thinge be necessary, ye
must doe that thinge that is contayned, in the[37r]chapters of the first and ye 2d booke. If it be
neede that any breve be made, becuse [sic] of discord, let the names beforesayd be written in
that breve, asArator, Lupidator [sic], &c. If the experiment be to giue any thinge to your
lovers to eate or to drinke, because of discord, first let that thinge be taken for the dayes and
the howres apt for it, and when they be prepared, and ordered, put these thinges before thee,
and say,
Ubi es sompniator, arator, et Lapidator, temptator, et deuorator, seminator,
discordie et ubi est auditor odium poneus et positor discordie et exatores
inimicorum. Coniuro vos et contestor per illum qui creauit vos et per illum qui ad
hoc ministerium vos ordinauit, et libenter faciatis talia opera. Rago vos et deprecor
que ista faciatis ita quae qui vel que de ista commederit, vel aliquo modo tetigerit,
numquoque possuit ad concordiam convocari.

And afterward ye shall giue that thinge to your lovers, such an howre as it is sayd
afterward, and it shall be. Yf any experiment of Destruction be, let it be made after the
chapters pertayninge unto such experiment, that be in the first and second booke and soe it
is very trew.

[Chap. 9] How experiments of mockinge and laughinge should be prepared.

[37v]

Experiments ludibrious and derysions be made many wayes. Whensoeuer any

experiment transfatorium when it is sure make a day and an howre meete [suitable] for him
for it as it is sayd, aboue, and write all this experiment, as it is sayde in it, if it must be
written in paper it must be writt as it is sayd of paper. And if it be not sayd of what it must
be writt, ye muste write it with the bloud of a backe, as it is sayed after of pen and inke. And
if in such the carecters be writt with the names they must be made, writt and wrought, so as
it is contayned in the chapters of the first and ye 2d booke, and when it is soe ordained, haue
before thee all that experiment, and say upon it with a low voyce, in thy heart these wordes,

Seternal, abac, abdac, istac, restac, audaac, castreac cobac, bator, lustor,
crustor, derisor, besator, incarcerator. Adestote triumphatores et faciatis
apparere talem rem sicut sitis quia omnes aspicientes sunt orbiculati et
prospiciendo semper cogitauit in vestro fruitio ut videndo talia qualibet sit in ludo
et in eis[38r]appereat quod non est veniatis et sedeatis et consecretis istud breue vel
incantamentum istud quia Iesus Nazarenus vos ad talia dedicauit.

After that breve or incantation, be made, let it be ordayned such an howre as it is

sayde, after of howres. And the foresayd words Abac, &c. ought to be writt in an
experiment ordayned there, and if it be made otherwayes without the wordes aforesayed
must be repeated howsoeuer they be, and so ye shall come to effect by god's grace, whose
honor and glory be in euerlastinge world Amen.

[Chap. 10.] How experiments extraordinary be prepared and ordayned.

We haue sayd before of all experiments collected of all the world, and put together in
certayne chapters. Now followeth of experiments extraordinary, as experiments of hurtinge
men, to cause them that they shall not lye with there wives, and experiments of concord and
other like, and many other diuers experiments, as brevia, of many thinges, and other
experiments.
 And whatsoeuer be written of yt experiments in paper, with pen and inke, and in those
experiments extraordinary that be for goodnes, howsoeuer they be,[38v]let this oration be
sayd and write in it as it should be written, as we haue sayd,

O deus qui fecisti omnia et qui nobis dedisti ad cognocendum bonum a malo per
sanctum nomen tuum quod 7islitteris scriptum est qualibet in se prtet unum ex
sanctis nominibus sicut scriptum est S. a. e. sob, h. h. h. d. b (?). et parir coabgis,
hac, faf, mihi. hapais, zos, Ioazat, Auereym, tot, creator rx (?). concede nobis hoc
experimentum in nominis manibus esse verum.

And againe let this gospell be writt or sayd upon the experiments,
In illo tempore ductus est, Iesus in deftum ut temptaretur a diabolo.1 1. Compare
Matt4.1.
That done and all the gospell sayd, ye shall worke after the howres as it followeth, and
in such experiments extraordinary that be more for good then for evill, doe it as it is said.
And in them onely that be prepared for evill, let these charmes be written and sayd withall
solempnitie,

Nesuanotida, didico mansan, nesay, ysan, haspazar, hers, solidnatores, crioxlatos,

Urizil, tangandu, in syon sacultaciornos, siu~ bracab unadarum aruey, arfusa,

experimenti[39r]ut per vos consecretur et confirmetur in virtute quam scriptum
habeatur in se obtineat per sanctissimam sedemAdonay, et eius timorem qui sine
fine venit et regnat deus in secula seculorum Amen.

Afterward suffumigate that breve, and sprincle it with in the name of them that can
doe such a thinge. Then let him worke upon such an howre, and soe it is sayd, of makinge of
all experiments extraordinary good or evill, and consider whosoeuer doth purpose to make
any experiment aforesayd, if one poynt of that we haue written doe lacke of ye experiments
or craft, it shall neuer come to effect, and if ye consider and keepe stedfastly in your
memory all that we haue written with the chapters followinge, ye may flye ouer the winges
of the windes, and satistie your desire in euery thinge.

Finis primi Libri Claviculi Salomoni.

Heare endeth the first prologue, and heare beginnethe the prologue of the 2d.
booke, as Ptolomeus the greacian witnesseth, that hath elucidated and made cleere
the Secrett of Secretts from obscure Darkness.

This Little worke of my father Salomon is composed and deuided into 2. bookes, and
in the first ^Booke we haue shewed how the artes and experiments should be prepared & made
and how ye may know the fallacyes of the wordes of[39v]experiments, and what is necessary
in the fallacyes of that arte and experiments, in the operation of them now we must see what
is necessary in fullfillinge all craftes and all experiments and all fallacyes, that then we must
take heede, that this marvelous secret come not into the handlinge of fooles, for he that hath
this Booke, and keepe well in memory those thinges that be written therin, he may well
know all the fallacise of all craftes & experiments, and make them, no craft nor experiment
of whatsoeuer condition it be, can prevayle without little worke, and therefore the makers of
craftes or exozizators [sic] of experiments if they have not and know not this worke, they
can come by noe meanes to the effect of any craft or experiment, therefore I desire and
coniure him, that shall haue this secrett, that he deliuer it to noe man, except he be a very
secret fellow, faithfull and wise, &c an instructer of such craftes, I coniure him by the body
and bloud of Christ, and by the name that he ought to receave, and by him that can giue life
to his sonne and take it away at pleasure, and as he would keepe his owne life that he take
not this worke to fooles, and if he deliuer it except he be secret.

I pray god the Father that gaue me knowledge of such thinges, if it be deliuered into
mens handes foolishly, that such[40r]secretts that he purposeth to doe, may never come to
passe, and soe be it. Amen.

He that purposeth to medle with this craft, must haue perfect and sure faith.

Heare beginneth the second Booke of the Clavicle of

Salomon.
The first chapters of howres, how artes and experiments be completed. i 2. Cp.
Mathers
Chapter.2 II.i
In the first booke we entreated, of dayes and howres, & poyntes necessary in
preparinge craftes, or experiments, now let us consider when they be prepared and ordayned
in there howres convenient, what howre they ought to be excersised and completed, if any
art or experiment be prepared to speake with or binde spiritts, whatsoeuer day or howre they
be ordayned, as it is written in the art or experiment it is necessary. And when he calleth
them that be created of ye Cracklinge of ye fyer [fire], they come with great earthquakes of
fyer, and the figure of them is assembled to flames of fyer. And when he calleth spirits
created of ye water, they come with rayne, hayle, and thunder, and such other. And when he
calleth spirits created of ye winde, they come like the ayer, and ye neede to feare none of
these, if ye keepe your precepts, as ye may se after in the chapter of precepts, and therefore,
spirits of what condition soeuer they be, or of whatsoeuer element[41r]ought not be called,
except the time be fayre, and pleasant. The spirits created of ye fyer abideth in the east.
Spirits created of fayrnes, abideth in the north. Spirits created of water, abideth in the west.
Spirits created of the winde abideth in the south.

Notifie that it shall be more sure and truer, your experiments to be made towards the
east. Allway doeinge thinges necessary toward that part, other experiments as they that be
extraordinary, and experiments of love, they be of more effect, if they be prepared toward
the north. And note that after ye haue donne, one arte or experiment, and haue ended it, and
kept it well, whensoever ye will on, that spirit eyther day or howre or in any solemnity, ye
may make experiment, and if with these howres, and poyntes and all solemnities kept, if
your art or experiment cometh not to effect, ye may know, that it is false, or ye be deceived
in some poynt. For if ye escape [omit] one poynt or howre ye shall never come to effect.

2. chap: how the Coniurer should order himself.3 3. Cp.

Mathers
II.ii.
Marke this Chapter well, for in it consisteth, all the whole science of the Clavicle, the
maker of the artes or experiments first, must consider what art or experiment he entendeth to
doe, and ought to write all that art or experiment in such paper and parchment as we shall
speake of. And afterward he must marke well, in what day this experiment must be prepared
and beganne, and what is necessary in preparinge of it, or what he ought to adde or diminish
in arts or experiments, and must marke in what day and howre, it should be donne, and
when it is soe prepared, he must remember in what place he will doe it, and soe before he
beginneth any thinge in this art, he must[41v]remember all necessary thinges convenient for
 this art, and when he hath remembered it, and marked it the coniurer must goe into his secret
chamber, or some other place, soe that none know where he is ytnone see him, and strippe
himself naked, and haue a bath prepared or coniured water, of such water aswe shall speake
of, and let him take the water and put it upon the toppe of his head, soe that it may runne
downe unto his feete, sayinge,

Domine Iesu Christe qui formasti me indignum et miserabilem peccatorem ad

similitudinem tuam benedicere et sanctificare digneris hanc aquam ut si
mundificamentum et saluamentum mei corporis et anime ut nulla fallacia possit in
me aliquo modo apparere omnipotens et ineffabilis pater qui unigenitum filium
tuum a Iohanne Baptista in flumina Iordanis baptizari concessisti conceda quaeso
omnipotens quod aqua isti sit baptizatus meus ita quod renovatus et mundificatus
sum ab omnibus peccatis praeteritis presentibus et futuris per dominum nostrum
Iesum Christum ê.

Afterwar [sic] wash thy self wholy in that water, and doe on linnen geare next your
body, as we shall shew afterward, of garments, then let him abstayne him self at least 3
dayes from all uncleanes, and filthy commonninge as we shall afterward speake of, of
fastinge, and euery day let him say this oration ones in the morninge, about 3 twise, and
about 9 - 3 times, about the eventyde 4 times and when ye ought to goe into bed 5 times.
And doe this untill the 3d day.[42r]

Abraxio saac, asaoech, rumlas, filac, anabonas, hyra, vel byra,boulen,

te sanctissime Adonay,mirear adimplere et dominum nostrum &ecitc;.

When these 3 dayes be past, let him begin to prepare as it is sayd, the art or
experiment that he intendeth, to make.

These 3 dayes ought to be most clearest and fayrest, before the day & the howre of
preparation. After these 3 dayes ye ought to begin to prepare, and looke for the howre when
ye must begin to worke, and when that howre is begonne then worke afterward it may
contineu [sic] in euery howre followinge, and all these aforsayd, the Coniurer ought to doe,
if he will bringe any to effect.

[Chap. 3.] Of Fellowshippe.4 4. Cp.

Mathers
II.iii.
Trycomzator, or the Instructor of the artes or experimenti, if he intend to doe any
thinge he must remember what fellowshippe he purposeth to haue with him, in euery art that
ye use circles, 3 fellowes, be necessary and if he can get noe fellowed, let him take at the
least a dogge to be for his fellow bound fast to him. And when the maister hath fellowes, let
him instruct them, and teach them to know all busines, that he will doe, and how they must
 keepe and doe, that, yt, the Coniurer telleth them, and shall sweare to keepe and observe his
precepts, and if they doe contrary in any poynt, it shallbe very like for them to dye,[42v]and
when the scholars shall be taught and instructed the master shall take water coniured, and
enter into some place secretly, and strippe his fellowes naked, and put water upon there
heads, that it may runne downe to there feete, and the mr shall say,

Renovati Baptizati et mundificati sitis in nomine patris et filii [et] S. Sancti Amen.
Ab omnibus peccatis vestris et quae virtus altissimi descendat, super vos et super
nos mendat semper ut implere valeamus desiderium nostri cordis.

Then let them doe on the geare as there mr did before, and observe themselves as he
did, and say 3 dayes the oration as the mr did.

Then let them follow the mr in all thinges, when time and howre is for to doe any
thinge, and if the mr will have for his fellow, first he shall baptize him with coniured
[water], and afterward fumigate him and coniure his sayinge,

Coniuro et exorsiso te creatura N. per eum qui te creavit et baptiso te et fumigo te

in nomine patris et filii et Spiritus Sancti Amen. Ut sis verus et fidelis socius meus
et amicus.

And if ye will have a litle boy or a wench for your fellow in doeinge of any art, doe by
them as ye did by the dogge, afterward pare all his nayles, with glasse, and say,

Coniuro te Iuvenem [?] creatura per patrem et filium et spiritum sanctum, per
patrem elymon, et per patrem ebayl, et per patrem elyon, qui non habent
potestatem celandi nec negandi de omni eo quod interroganero te[43r]ut mihi sis
obediens et fidelis.

Then wash the child and baptize him with water coniured, as it is sayd after of water,
sayinge,

Sis renovatus et mundificatus ut nunquam spiritus malignus in te manere possit.

Then fumigate him with fumigations, as we have written after. And when your fellow
or schollers be soe ordered, the mr may doe all maner of artes surely without feare, for the
samegard [sic *safeguard] of body and soule, the maister, and all his fellowes shall have the
pentacles written in paper such as we speake of after, of virgin paper, and each one of them
shall have these pentacles when they be hallowed and beare them upon them in noble silke,
with sweete and fragrant savours. And then let them not feare, for they be safe from all feare
and perrill. Then let them doe what they intend to doe. They ought to be 3 fellowes without
[i.e not counting] the master but v. or vi. or ix. while they doe after the maister his precepts.

If any man will worke in Nigromancy, first when he hath made all ordinances, of artes
from the first day of his inception, he must keepe himself and abstayne from all unlawfull
thinges, and from all Inquitition of his body from great eatinge and drinkinge, and from all
filthy communication, and fowle games, and from leachery, and from fablinge and talking,
and must have in him all honesty, that he coniecture or thinke upon, in speakinge, in
walking, in eatinge, in drinkinge, in all his executions, and these ought to be donne, for the
space of 9 dayes, before the[43v]day of his inception, and his scollers must have them in like
manner. And within these 9 dayes, all these thinges ought to be prepared, necessary for the
artes, that they may doe there arte stedfastly the day and howre of ye preparation, and to
worke and to fullfill it, day and howre of the fullfillinge, of the arte, and in every oneof
these 9 dayes, before the inception of the worke, the mr and his scholer must say this oration
in the morning onse, at the evninge twise.

An oration to be sayd by the mrand his scholers.

Domine deus omnipotens propitios esto mihi peccatori quae non sum dignus lenare
oculos meos ad celum, propter peccata mea tu pius et misericors pater qui
cananeam et publicanum vocasti ad penitentiam et minimis verbis confessione
introduxisti latronam in paradisum miserere mei deus et dimitter mihi omnia
peccata mea ego, N. indignus pater omnium creaturarum rogo te que plenus es
misericordia et pietate per tuam inamensam clementium prestare digneris ut videre
possim per te sanctissime pater spiritus omnes quos capio convocare quae ipsi
coram presentia mea patefiant ut quod desidero compleatur per te sanctissime,
triumphator quia tu es benedictus per omnia secula seculorum Amen.
Domine deus pater qui sedes super cherubin et seraphin qui profunda abissi
intueris ad te leno manus meas in similitudinem[44r]crucis tue ut cognitione tua
requiem accipiam tu das N. requiem omnibus qui omnem superbiam humilias qui
vicisti mortem, tu es domine requies nostra tu es protectio vera omnibus
inuicantibus te protege me et defende me et adiuua me et virifica me in hoc articulo
que facere intendo qui viuis et manes in sempiterna secula, Amen.

And the 3 last dayes before the inception of your worke, let him be content with a qu~
of meate once, a day, and it were better if he could be content with bread and water, and let
all abstinence, be in that time sayinge allwayes this oration before sayd, and at the last,
when the worke must begin, let him be without meate and drinke that day, and goe to the
priest to be confessed og his sinnes, or els let them confesse one an other, as if they should
dye, and in frute of penance, one absolue another, or els let euery one of them goe into a
farre place, remoted from any company that day very early and take pennance, of the high
creator on this manner,

Confiteor tibi Christe una cum spiritu sancto coram sanctis angelis tuis et coram
presenti abtare tuo et facie tue et coram maiestate tua et cruce tua presenti coram
me quia in peccatis conseptus sum, et in peccatis natus, sum, et in peccatis nutritus
sum et in peccatis post babtismum usque in hanc horam conuersatus sum, confiteor

After that, wash thee[44v]all wholy with such water as it is sayed, afterward of bathes,
after that, cloth your self as it is sayed of clothes, after that fumigate your self, as it is sayd
afterward of fumigations, that done and diligently observed, let him goe to the place,
ordayned, with all thinges necessary, and make a circle as ye ought to make him, and make
all thinges necessary ready, and before ye begin to call any thinge let him make the
foresaide confession afterward in frute of pennance, and of absolution, of there sinnes, let
one kysse another, and let the scholers doe all these aforesaid, like the master, unto this
poynt, after that let the mr giue his precepts to the scholers, as it is sayed after of precepts,

The vestiments before said must be linen, and they were priests garments, they were
better. Marke the arte ought to be donne.

[Chap. 7] Of the places wherin the artes must be donne.12 12. Cp.
Mathers
II.vii.
The places must be hid and secrett or desert farre from the habitation of men. Let noe
woman come there in any case. Make the place goodly and wide & trimme, and hydde in
the woods and caves, and places without dwellings, and make them goodly, some makes
them on the topps of howses, and one the toppes of mountaynes, and in triviall or quadriviall
places, in flouds and merysh ground, and behind woods and flouds, and in fieldes, in
gardens, and greenes[47r]and in streets, and whatsoeuer dwellinge place it be, soe that it be
donne secrettly, it may be donne one the day as well as the night, but for to avoyde an
occation of stamblinge, a man may doe it on the day for susteyning of his body, but the
place must be secret, and solytary [solitary], but if the coniurer be sure and bold, it may be
in the night, and they will come sooner, and then it may be in any place habitable and it
shall be sure. When ye have chosen one of these foresayd places, to make it by the day, or
by the night, make that place goodly and fayre, broade and wide, but closed, one every side,
either by wood or by water. And when ye make the place cleane, say ye ever these Psalmes,

Quare fremuerunt gentes [Ps2], Deus misereats [*misereatur] nostri [Ps66], deus in
nomine tuo [Ps53].

And fumigate that place with fumigationsfollowinge, and sprincle him with water and
Isope as it followeth of water, and in such a place ye may doe all preparaments of artes, and
when ye will goe to the place to fulfill your arte, in the beginninge of your journey, begin to
say this oration:

Lazay, gemag, nazay, Orion, fortissimum tedyon terribilis, el, Ioth, heth, he,
Vau, Iach, agla, adiuva me miserum peccatorem et indignum qui ansus sum, talia
secretissima nomina nominare que nulli lecet nisi in magnis periculis inuocare,
parce mihi domine si fefelli vel peccaui in aliquo quia ad tuam custodiam et
securitatem et ad tuam fiduciam vado, in hoc articulo periculoso.

And take water with you sayinge the lettany. Let the mr goe first, with water and Isope
sayinge the lettany, and his schollers[47v]answeringe, but the first oration every one of them
should say in there minde, yt oration that they say dayly in the time of custody of the 9 days
 before the beginninge of his worke.

And likewise let them say the oration that there mr sayed onely when he beginne to
goe to the place, to beginne his worke, and one must goe after another to the place.

Let the first scholer beare the senser, and incence, makinge fragrant savoures of such
as followeth of fumigations. Let the second scholer beare paper and Bookes, pen and Inke,
and spices of fumigations. Let the 3d scholer beare the knife, and the knifes ordinated as
followeth. Let the 4th scholer beare the potts where in they put fyer of ye coles in the which,
the fumigation of spice must be put. And if they be many let the mr order them as he thinks
best, and let them ever answer there mr in untill they come to the place, and when they be
there, let them put all these beforesayd in a remote place, as farre as pleaseth the maister and
they must goe prepared as it is sayed. And they ought to doe to a poynt, as there mr did.
Then the mr shall take the knife, as it followeth, soe ordinated as it is sayd of the knifeor els
let him take that Instruments, wherein[48r]he may make the l circle best as it is found in the
craft that he intendeth to make, and let him make the circle as he should, when the circle is
made, and ordinated, fumigated and crossed with water, and the scholers exorted, and all
things done and prepared, as is contyned in this chapter, and all preparations made and
standinge in such, because of compleatinge his arte before he begiñe any Invocation.

Of a Bell;

The master shall have a bell, and towle 4. times toward the 4. partes of the world, with
4 pater nosters, sayinge, every part,

vos omnes sitis et cognoscitis per huic arti ad ***dum nobis; vos ve i??? oprtet
estoti prti que vos volo continue invocare et ideo facio vobis signum quod audire
debeati que parti sumis, ad cohartandum vos,

In that bell ought to be written these names; a, v, o, B. y. as Joth, heth, he, vau, and
these carecters with pen and Inke as followeth to this.

By the vertue of these names, the voyce of the bell shall enter into there hearts, to
cause them to feare and obay, and that donne, let them prosecute there worke, that they may
fullfill it, that they may renew the circle and fumigations and soe proceede in there worke.

[Chap. 8] Of a knife and a sworde and other Instruments.13 13. Cp.

Mathers
II.viii.
 It is necessary in operations of artes or experiments to have swordes and knifes and
other Instruments of the which circles may be made, and other necessary operations,

[48v]Let him make a knife, of the forme following, of Iron andamco. With a white haft
of Ivory ytis tempered in the bloud of a goose and the Joyce [juice] of pimpernell, and let it
be made one day & his howre in the augment of ye and fullfill from the first howre to ye
13th howre, and when he is made, cause to be songe over him x. masses. And write over (?)
cinabrig conjured upon his hast, eyther with a needle or a poyntell of Iron, of such as
followeth, of a needle, with this figure

and fumigate him with fumigations as followeth, with such a knife as the circles
should be made with, if it be greevous for you to make such a knife, finde some knife of the

silke cloth, of such as followeth, until ye will worke, and of that knife let the circles of artes
be made, and with that knife, let things necessary to the artes or experiments be cut, likewise
let Artanus be made, but they neede not to be put in any operation, Let other Instruments of
Iron, or staves, or rodds excersised in artes or experiments be consecrated, on that mañer, if
they be InstrumtsLet them be made one dayes and his howre as it is said of ye knife, and
Arthano, and let these that followeth be written upon them,
 if they be staues or rodds, they ought for to be virginall, of whatsoeuer wood they be,
& cutt of at one cut, with the knife aforesayd, in the howre of , and let the foresayd
carecters be written upon that rodde, with such Inke as followeth then say ouer that rodd
these wordes,

adestote, et consecrate virgulam istam quemadmodum[49v]convenit per te
sanctissime Adonay cuius regni noterit finis per omnia secula seculorum Amen.

Then let him be put in cleane place untill ye worke, swordes be necessarry in artes or
experriments, take the swordes that ye worke withall after the manner followinge let them
be scoured, and cleane from the first howre of unto the xii howre, and let these wordes be
written upon his syde,

Then let these be put in a fayre place untill the time that ye worke, as it is in the silke
cloth, and with such knifes and swoordes, and Instruments of Iron, and Arthano, and a rodd
and a staffe, as the artes and experiments be done with.

Arthanos is made one day in the augment of the moone, and let him be tempered in
the Joyce of pimpernell, and the bloud of a goose, and 3 masses songe ouer him, and be
fumigate with such fumigation as followeth, and let them bathe them with such water as
followeth, of water and Isope, of the which arthano ought to be cutt all necessary thinges to
artes or[50v]experiments, and of him must the circles be made, about testas of the
fumigations, and that is the dewty of this artanus, likewise let the swordes and spheares be
consecated [sic], that they be new and virgin Iron, and never occupied in any worke, for if it
were made otherwise, it would not profit.

[Chap. 9] How the Circles be made.15 15. Cp.

Mathers,
II.9.
The Circles be made one this manner. When ye be in a place where ye will make a
circle withall preparaments and necessary arts and experiments, take the knife beforesayd in
your hand that we speake of now, and fasten him the earth in the middes of ye place, where
ye will make your circle. Then take a corde of the lengthe of 9 foote, one both partes, from
the east, from the west, from ye South, and the north, and put a signe, and in this signe, in
 the middes make a circle of that artes that ye will have, with the foresaid knife, leavinge an
entringe, from the north, part to come into the circle and goeinge out, and beyond the circle
of the arte, make another circle a foote of [off], wt the foresayde knife, alwayes leavinge one
gate, before another and likewise make another circle, beyond them per demi-foote,
leavinge and entringe, and within the two circles that be yond the circle of arte make
pentacles, with the names of our saviour as it[51r]followeth, of the forme of the circle, and
about the circle that is beyond by a foote, make crosses as is in the circle, beyond that circle,
make a square circle as all thinges appeareth heare one the other side [i.e. on the following
page], in the circle made to the eye, In the summyte of every corner let a litle roundle be
made, wherein the pott with good coles, and spices shall be put, and let one sword be
fastned in the ground by a foote behinde the pott as it followeth. That donne, let the mr of
the art, take his fellowes and bringe thorow the entringe into the circle, of the art, and let
them keepe toward yepartes of ye world and admonish them as it is sayd after the precepts.
And let the fellow towards the East have penne, Inke and paper. Let each one of the other[s]
have a cleane sworde in his hand, soe that the remnante have a sworde they hold in there
handes by the pomell, soe that they moove (?) them not that be fastned by the potts, & the
swordes that they hold in there handes, be forbiti like other. And let the mr goe out of the
circle, and kindle the fyer of ye potts and put in the spice coniured, as it followeth, of
fumigations. And let him have a greese candle coniured in his hand as it followeth of
candles and let him light it, and put it into a lanthorne [lanturn] made ready [beforehand]
and let him reforme the circle againe and close the entringe and warne his fellowes againe,
and take a bell followinge and doe as it is sayd of the chapter of places. Then let him
fumigate himself and his fellowes with a senser, and the circle with fumigations followinge
and sprincle himself, his[51v]fellowes, and the place with water and Isope coniured as it
followeth of water. And when all this is prepared, let all solemnityes be there prepared ytbe
contayned above in the first and second booke.

After that, let the mr beginne to say standinge in the middes of ye Circle, with a knife
fastned at his feete and there let the bell be toward the east, coniuria of the art, that he
purposeth to make. And after let him say if they come not, his coniurations and orations that
be contayned in the first booke in the chapters of all artes and soe ye must doe, if ye will
come to effect.

[Chap. 10.] Of Fumigations of all Artes and experiments.17 17. Cp.
Mathers,
II.10.
 Diverse fumygations be in Artes and experimentes some odoriferous, some stinkinge.
If it be odoriferous take incense, Lignum Aloes, saffron, mirre, muske, costum, and say over
it,

Deus Abraham, deus Isaack, deus Iacob, benedic hanc creaturam spe~ et vim et
virtutem suam amplia ut hostis fantasma intrare non possit in ea per deum nostrum
Iesum filium tuum quae viuit et regnat deus per omnia seculorum Amen.
Exorsiso te omnis in munde spiritus omnemque fantasma in nomina patris
omnipotentis et Ihesu Christe filii eius et spiritus sancti ut exeas ab hac specie
thimiamatis cum omni fallacia et nequitia ut sit hec species sanctificiata, in nomine
domini ** nomine Iesu Christi ut gestantes et adornatis eam virtutem a anplium
spiritus sancti prcipiant ita ut ubicunquae hec species tacta vel incensa fuerit in
expanestando aliquem appropinquare non audeatis aut aduersi inferre prsumatis
adiurati per nomen dei patris omnipotentis et Christi Iesu filii eius benedic domine
creaturam istam ut remedium salutare humani generis et nostrorum corporum et
animarum saluacon per invocationem nominis tui ut in quacunquae opera fuerit hec
creatura spei sanitatem corporis et anime praecipiat per dominum nostrum et.

After that sprincle the foresayd spices with holy water as followeth, and put it in new
silke cloth, and there let it be untill the worke with it. That done, when ye will put it in the
fyer [fire], make new fyer of new coles, and in[53v]new potts, vitreats both within and
without, say ouer, before ye put in the spice,

The Coniuration of ye Fyer.

Exorsizo te creatura ignis per que~ facta sunt omnia ut sine mora aliqua eiicias
fantasinata [sic] ut nocere non possunt in aliquo oprtr naturam humanam per
invocationem altissimi creatoris, Benedic domine creaturam spei~ ut sanctificiata
et benedicta sit in collandationem no~is tui sancti ut millum nocumentum sit
gestantibus et videntibus per dominum nostrum et.

That donne put the pott and yefyer, and the coles, in what operation ye will to make
sweete smellinge of savour, and when ye will fumigate any thinge, put such fyer, and such
spice, soe coniured in a senser, and make a fumigation in whatsoever part ye will.

If it needeth in any art or experiment, that the spice must be stinkinge as brimstone,
hazar, lazay, and other foule spices, say this over it,

Adonay, lazay, dalmay, salmay, almay, Saday, eloy, per invocationem sanctissimi
nominis tui domine sancte pater dona nobis anpilium ut hec sp~es nostro adiutorio
de iis in quibus eam operari voluerimus et omne fantasma exeat de ea et
benedicetur et sanctificetur in nomine tuo pater, potentissime.

When that is done, sprincle it with such water as followeth, and put it in a pipe, and
put uppe that[54r]pipe in such new cloth as followeth, of silke and there let it be, untill ye
 worke with it, and let that cloth be ever kept in a fayre place, and well savoring. After that,
fumigate in what part ye will, necessary and by gods healpe ye shall obtayne your purpose.

[Chap. 11.] Of Water and Isope.18 18. Cp.

Mathers
II.xi,
Ad36674,
II.10.
If it be necessary in any art to sprincle holy water coniure it one this manner. The first
day of and in his howre coniure the salt and water havinge a senser with spices coniured,
as it followeth on his howre, coniure the spice with like coniuration, as it is sayd of
fumigations, take a vessel of pewter or of earth glased, or glasse, and fill him with pure
water of the quicke fountayne, and take salt coniured on this manner,

Sabaoth, Messias, Tetragrammaton, Emanuell, Cadyon, fortis Iaña,turris

fortitudinis sanctificare et benedicere digneris hanc creaturam salis ut sit nostrum
anpilium et Invaniem (?).

And put it in the vessell of water, and say over that water, the 7 [Penitential] Psalmes,

Domine ne in furore [Ps6]; Beati quorum [Ps31]; Domine ne in furore [Ps37];

[Miserere mei Deus (Ps50);] Domine exaudi [Ps101]; [De profundis clamavi
(Ps129); Domine exaudi orationem meam (Ps142)]

And this oration,

Tu, N, domine deus meus es, requies mea, tu, es, vita mea vera admira me
clementissime pater sicut ego spero in te, deus Abraham, deus Isaac, deus Iacob,
deus angelorum, deus archangelorum, deus p'pletarum deus patriarcharum, deus
Apostolorum, deus martirum, deus confessorum, deus virginum et vituarum te
supplico domine quamvis in dignis, nomen sanctissimum tuum invoco per
invocatione et[54v]merita, sanctorum, et sanctarum tuarum Benedicere et
Sanctificare digneris hanc aquam ut in loco in quo aspersa fuerit sanitus animarum
et corporum nostrorum esse possit, per te sanctissime pater cuius regni non erit
finis per omnia secula seculorum Amen.

Then make a dassell of verven, fennell, pervincle, valerian, sage, mynt, maiorana,
basilisco, and bind all these hearbes in a rodde [wand] of hasle [hazel], that must be cut of at
one cut, with Arthana, as we haue spoken of in the chapterof the knife, and in the chapter,
how the pentacles should be made.

Whoso will know the science of this Booke howbeit it is devided into many chapters,
the principles of operations, the same chapter should be the principle, and nothinge without,
this chapter, of the arte, of Nigromancy can be donne.
 Note What is to be done and prepared first.

Thus ye must begin. First and principally let Artanus be made, with these solemnities,
as it is sayd in the chapter of artanus, in one day of Mercury in the augmentinge of the
moone early in the morning cut an hazell rodde at one cutt and in that howre gather and
prepare hearbes, to make a Dassell, and when he is made, cause to be songe over him[55r]St.
John's Gospell, In principio, then write upon the rodd of Hasell of the which ye haue made
mãicum (?) of Dassell with a needle or a poynthe of Iron as followeth in there chapters.

And afterward worke with this water sprinclinge, wthIsope sme [sic] Dassell knowinge
that in what soeuer part it be sprinkled all fantasies doo departe from that place, & can make
noe impediment, and this is the art that ought to be occupied in all artes and experiments of
artes, and without this chapiter noe operation of the clavicle can be donne. A mathematicall
man if he will doe any art euther by day or by night, he must haue light to make his circles
and to reade, and to doe consecrations necessary and note, that these Lightes must be donne
and had when ye will doe any operation eyther by day or by night, and these candles and
lights, must be made in one day of , in his howre in the augmente of ye moone and must
be consecrated and afterward be put up in a silke cloth, untill ye worke; and in every chapter
of ye Clavicle or in every other operation, let such a candle be occupied as followeth,

[Chap. 12.] Of Candles and there Composition.19 19. Cp.

Mathers,
II.xii,
Add36674,
II.12.

In the first day and howre that was shewed unto you that is , take a threed of a silke
worme made of a mayde, let wickes be made, and upon them let candles of wax be made, of
a new hyve that neuer made wax[55v]before, and that is called virgine wax, & fiant grosse vt
brachium of half a pound, and when they be made of a new hyve that neuer made wax
before, let the signes be written ouer them
 with such a needle as followeth, then let him say ouer the candles these Psalmes,

Benedic anima mea [Ps103], Laudate dominum omnes gentes [Ps116], Te deum
laudamus [found in Latin mass],
& this oration,
Domine Jesu Christe da mihi peccatori fensa et intellectum et intelligam te timere,
credere, amare, et laudare, orare, gratias agere, per fidem rectam et bonam
voluntatem concede mihi fidem rectam charitatem perfectam, dona mihi
humilitatem et sapientiam et veram emendationem, bona preseuerantiam et fidem
perfectam concede mihi domine, antequam morear et antequam mors prueniat et
antequam tantari me recipiant et antequam flamma comburet, deus meus ne
derelinquas me deus salutaris meus,

Then say,

In nomina patris et filii et spiritus sancti Amen. exorsiso te creatura cere per illum
qui solo verbo cuncta creavit quae tu in continenti expellas omnem fantasiam et
omnem fallaciam et in te sit virtus altissime et luminare possis nobis coram itaque
omnis timor et pauor fugiat a nobis.

That donne sprincle it with water aforesayd and fumigate it with fumigations
above[56r]written, and tynd it saying,

Exorsiso te creatura ignis in nomine patris et filii et Spiritus Sancti Amen, et per
primum nomen domini On a* secundum verbum quod dicitur fiat lux secundum
nomen videsias in nomine sancte et indiuidue trinitatis hac teriensis Ritimisis,
Ryon, Adonay, Saluagla, Salua mare manete quod tu incontinenti accipias vim
et virtutem a creatore omnium creaturarum ut luminare possis corda sp[iritus]
o[mnes] ut hic coram nobis appareant sine fallacia et in veritate et non cum
falsitate humiles et mansueti et sis benedictus, in nomine patris et filii et S. Sancti,
Amen.

Then take a lanthorne whereupon write these wordes with pen and Inke, in a compasse
with capitall letters,

TETRAGRAMMATON, Sabaoth, Adonay, + Ecel, fares, recel, Ladomas,

And let the candels end be put in it, & when he should reade any thinge or consecrate
or make or make [sic] a circle one of ye fellowes must hold the candles end followinge the
Mr sayinge and doeinge all solemnities as is sayed.

[Chap. 13.] Of all precepts of artes & experiments.20 20. Cp.

Mathers,
II.xiii.
 We command all coniureres that when they excogitate or presume to doe any worke
that before the inception of any operation for the space of 9 dayes, he keepe cleanes, and
within these 9 dayes he prepare all thinges necessary, and if these foresayd thinges be
ordayned and consecrated, of a faithfull and trusty priest, clothes Sindone in these dayes it
were of more efficacy. When you have ended custody as it is sayd before of fastinge, in the
day and the howre in the chapters, of the arte, let him goe to the place[56v]ordayned doeinge
as it is sayd before of places, and there let him make a circle, as it is sayd before of circles.
And when they be in the circles ordayned, let the Mr injoyne such precepts to his scholers,
that they moove not from there places ordayned by any occasions, if they should se great
marvayles, if they should see mountaynes and towres of fyer fallinge upon them, if they
should see there father and mother slayne, if they should see the world almost at an end for
any adversity that they see, let them not move, for all this that we have sayd cañot hurt
them.

After these many tribulations, inordinate and evill favoured nations shall come foorth,
after that nations some what fayre, then shall well favanoured people come meekely and
without any furor, yet let the scholers stand with there heads downwards and all shall passe
by, and if they thinke it greevious to behold these thinges, let them hide there eyes with
there garments, and let the Mr like a stronge man comfort them sayinge, fear ye not, for we
have allmost our purpose. At the East, will come the King of Kinges, and emperour of them,
and Kinges and princes and greate estates with him, and a great company bringinge with
them all kinde of Instruments of sweete sownds and voyces.

And if they would passe by let the Mr say as if he were somwhat angry,Whether goe
ye. Then, every one will make a great rumor and furor, and tempests and lightninge worse
then in the beginninge. Then let the scholers feare[57r]nothinge and by and by the Mr shall
say, Let none of you presume to goe hence. And let him shew them the pentacles and the
scholers likewise, shall open there pentacles toward ytpartes.

When they have shewed the pentacles, all there furour and madnes shall cease, and
then there emperour shall sayfrom the time of Salomon, there was noe Coniurer could see
my presence, if that thinges were not that ye have prepared and that ye shew unto us, and
because ye compell us soe greevously I beleeve ye are of ye progeny of Salomon or of his
fellowes. Few circulators have those thinges whereby they may compell us by our hurt and
against our will, we must come before thee, because we cannot defend our selves, nor say
against the wordes that ye speake and for feare of the pentacles we will be obedient and
subiect to thé in all thy commandements.

Then the Mr for himselfe and for his fellowes, ought to make what petitions he will,
and rech [=reach] it foorth to them written, and they will take it and doe your Councell with
his Kinges.

Afterward they will give thee thy petitions and will say, that yt ye desire is donne, and
incontinently they will give unto you that, that ye desire.

Then give them licence as it is sayd, in the first booke in the chapter of all artes about
 the ende.

Afterward make the penne with Arthanabefore sayd coniured, and fumigate him with

quatenus sis in nostro summitio (?) et invanem.

Then say,

Ô Angeli Adonay, Eloe, et AngelemAdenel, estote in adiutorium nostrum ut

propter vos impleatur summo (?).

Then take such a needle as followeth, and pricke the Becke under the right winge, and
take the bloud in some cleane vessell, and say,

Adonay, araton, Ossy, heloy, heloe, helyon, esseryon, Saday, deus dominus,

valeat in hoc quod tibi peciero et de eo quod facere voluere.

The Bloud of a Becke may be taken otherwise, etpistetur and let him be put in pecia
alba and let him be quested strongly and take the bloud as it is sayed in the vessell, and let
the foresayd wordes be sayd. Or els ye may cutt of his head with a glasse, and take the bloud
& doe as it is sayed, and if ye should doe otherwise, ye should have noe good bloud, and of
that bloud, ye must write many experiments. And if ye take not the bloud on this manner, it
were nothinge worth. Whensoever ye worke, with the bloud of birdes, or of beasts, of
whatsoever kinde ye take the bloud, the wordes aforesaid must be sayd over the
sayd[58v]byrdes or beastes as over the becke, and ye must slay the birdes or beaste with
Artano aforsaid coniured, and if ye worke otherwise, the bloud of eyther byrde or beast shall
not compleate the worke.

In many experiments and artes, virginne paper is necessary. Virgin paper is of a beast
that never had copulation male or female. Paper not borne is called that, that is drawen out
of the Body of a dead beast or of a beast that is borne dead. Therefore take the paper
unborne of any beast one day, and howre & beare it where noe man may see you, and
have artanus[59r]with you, coniured. And finde a reede immaculate and pure and strippe him
cleane, from all his leaves. And when he is mundified, say over him this coniuration,

And cutt of at once the reede, with the foresayed artano, and make a knife of the sayd
cane or reed with artano, and in the cane or reede, let these wordes be written, withe the

presta mihi vim et virtutem per invocationem sanctorum et sanctarum tuarum et
angeulorum et archangelorum tuorum ut hanc cartam facere possum quae obtineat
in se virtutem et omnia que de dicta carta fient habeant effectum per eum qui te
cum viuit et regnat in unitate spiritus sancti deus per omnia secula seculorum
Amen.

That sayed with the sayd reed knife, beginne scoriare [*to exorcize], the foresayd
beast, not brue qiu~ (?) scorias, sey[ing],

Lazay, balmay, Dalmay adonay, Saday, Tetragrammaton, agnefeton, Cedion,

Orion, enereton, Athanatos, Theodomos, Kyros helyos Agyos, Theophilos;
angeli sancti dei adestote et virtutem huic carte imponite que per vos consecretur
taliter que omnia que in ea scribentur effectum habeant.

And with the soresayd coniured[59v]salt, ye must salt the skinne, and put him into the
sonne so salted, for the space of a day, then take some earthen vessell covered and in the
compasse of the vessell, write these Carecters, with pen and Inke aboue coniured.

And in the foresayed vessell put the flower calcis albe saying,

Onoy, Zoron, Lazion, Zacaryon, typhyon, alyon, occinomos, adestote et

implete, hunc florem Benedictione et expellite de eo omnem fallaciam ut carta que
conficietur in ea virtutem obtineat propter optatam.

Then put such water aboue saide of water, and put it in the foresaid flower of Lime,
and make thereof one Lattatam and in ytput in the foresaid skiñe [skin] that it may be made
by 3. dayes. when that 3. dayes be passed, shaue awaycarnaceum of the skinne, and
calcinacum with the sayed knife of the reede. Then make one circle of the rodde of the hasle
[hazel] cutt of at one cutt with artano aboue coniured, saying these wordes before ye cutt it:

Adonay sanctissime pone virtutem huic Ligno ut siccare possit hanc cartam
virginem consecratam.

Then take a threed [thread] filatum of a cleane mayde a virginne, and cause the mayde
[maid] to make a longe corde, and in makinge the corde let her say, Pater Noster.
Afterward[60r]fetch little round stones, one the fresh water banke, & in gatheringe them say,
these wordes,

Tetragrammaton fortis et sanctissime pone in his lapillis virtutem et curare

possint cartam istam et omnem fallaciam de ipsis eiicias · ut ipsa carta per optatam
possit obtinere virtutem.

Then binde that paper in the said circle with the said corde and stones sayinge,

Agla, Ioth, heth, he, vau, el, emanuel,adestote ad ligandum hanc cartam et
custodiatis ipsam ut nulla fallacia intrare possit in ea.

And soe let him say in the shadow in thy howse secretly, that the ayre rediat eam by 3
dayes. And when ye have put him downe to dry, sprincle him with water and Isope, as it is
sayed of Isope and watersayinge,

In nomine patris et filii et S. Sti Amen etc,.

Asperge ipsam domine Isope et mundetur ab omni nequitia et super nivem
deabbetur, [cp. Asparges me hysopo et mundabor lavabis me et super nivem
dealbabor (Ps50:9).]

And 3 dayes passed, let it be come from the circle with artano, sayinge,

Ancor, anacor, amlos, Theodomos, Phagor, adestote in custodia huius carte.

Then fumigate it with fumigations ut supra, and put him uppe in such a cleane cloth,
as followeth of silk.

And by any meanes let no woman see the sayd paper, and ye doers of this arte, must
be cleane and pure as it becommeth them. And if the virginne paper be made other wise then
it is sayd, any experiment that is written in the paper shall never come to effect.

[In marg:] [Cartha]m Virg. ***mt

If ye thinke it paynefull, to make virginne paper after this manner aforesayed, Take
virginne paper made ready as other papers, be of whatsoever beast it will. Coniure it after
the manner followinge,[60v]but it is not of soe greate effect, as that other paper aforesayd,
makinge a fumigation odoriferous spices as abouesaid of fumigations, and put them in an
earthen cuppe, in whose circuite let these carecters be written of such penne and Inke as is
aforesaid:

And hold the paper in your hand ouer the fumigation sayinge,

Angege, adonay, eloe, esto mihi in adiutorium et propter vos impleator.

Then let him say pater noster. After that let him say,
Lazay, Salmay, Dalmay, Adonay, Saday, Tetragrammaton, anepheneton, Cedyon,
Aryon, Anereneton, Athanatos, Theos, Theodomos, anilos, pes, kyros, abos,

ancor, anilos, Theodonas angeli sancti dei adestote et virtutem huic carte imponite
et per vos consecretur Taliter quae omnia que scribentur in ea in se rei obtineat
virtutem et omnis fallacia in se extra ipsas cartas effugiat coadiuvante patre et filio
et spiritu sancto, Amen.

Then say these Psalmes,

Deus Iudicium [Ps71]; te deum; laudate dominum [Ps116]; ecce nunc [Ps133];
Benedicite [Ad36674 and Mathers add 'opera omnia'] [i.e., The Song of the Three
Children, Daniel 3:57ff].

And then say this coniuration,

Coniuro te carta per ista verba que dicuntur de creatore per illum qui potest
tribuere[61r]et auersare quatenus in te obtineas virtutem que omnia que super te
scribentur ad effectum perduci valeant et que omnis fallacia exeat de te et inte
intret omnis veritas sine mora.

Then let him be sprincled of the foresayd water coniured and put it in such a cloth
cleane as followeth of silke cloth, and of such paper as appeareth in many experiments and
artes and because experiments be not thus ordayned they come to noe effect.

Mathers
II.xviii;
Ad. 36674,
II.16;
Duveen

In many artes and experiments, wax or earth is occupied in makinge Images or
Candelss or other nessesaries. It is to be noted that if any Image be of wax, or of earth, and
that it is made be of virginall and cleane, and the matter that yewax or earth cometh of, be
corrupted, the Images shall have noe place. The virginne wax is of bees that never made
fauos [i.e. honeycombs]. The virginne earth is that, yt is under yeearth nye the water like
clay. If any man will worke, with earth or wax, whether it be virginne wax or noe, before he
beginne his operation, let him say, this Coniuration over it,

adiutorium quia vos invoco in meo opere et per vos incipio, et per vos finiatur,
 That said, beginne to say these Psalmes,
28
† Domine non est expellatum [Ps130]; † Domine quis habitavit [Ps14]; † Domine 28. The
exaudi [Ps101 and Ps142 both start with these words];[61v]† Domine dominus crosses (†)
noster [Ps8]; † Quam dilecta [Ps83]; † Expurgat deus; [sic! *exsurgat deus] [Ps67] and short

† Beati immacu'lati; † Deus' deorum; †† Deus in nomine tuo; † Deus Iudicium; † strokes (')
Ecce quam' bonum; † In ex'itu; † In Convert'endo [Ps125]; † Om'nes gentes; † in this list
Deus deus m'eus respice; †† Beati quo'rum; | † m'iserere mei deus secundum; † De are written

p'rofundis; † Domine probasti.
Then make three masses to be song over the wax or earth, and take and fumigate it
with fumigations coniured saying,

Coniuro et admoneo te cera per patrem omnipotentem qui cuncta ex nihilo creauit,
et per invocationem sanctorum et sanctarum tuarum et angelorum et
archangelorum ponas virtutem huic cere et in nomine tuo sanctificetur et
beneficetur ut virtutem obtineat quam obtamus.

Then sprincle it with yewater above wheresaid, and as oft as ye will, make any
operation of wax, or of earth before the inception of your worke, ever doe as it is sayd in
this chapter aforesaid, if ye will bringe your experiment to effect.

There be many instruments donne with a Needle that we have spoken of, upon Jupiters
day and his houre, make a needle or a poyntle of Iron but let it not be completed that houre,
but upon Venus day and her houre let him be completed, and bringe him to some privye
place, and say over him,

Coniuro te acus per patrem et filium et spiritum sanctum et[62r]per omnes

coniurationes quae fuerit in mundo et per virtutem lapidem verborum atque
herbarum et ad ultmum per illum qui potest iudicare viuos et mortuos et seculum
per ignem quod tu accipias a' tali factore vim et virtutem que nunquam sit fallacia
in te ad scribendum et faciendum omnia que de te voluere.

Then say,

Domine quid multiplicati [Ps3]; domine deus meus in te speraui [Ps7]; Confitebor
tibi [in toto corde meo] [Ps9]; In domino Confido [Ps10]; Conserua me domine
[Ps15]; Diligam te domine [Ps17]; Celi enarrant [Ps18]; Dominus regit me [Ps22];
Iudicia me domine; nobi emulare; expectans expectaui [Ps39]; Quemadmodum
[Ps41]; Deus repulisti nos [Ps59].
 Then let 3 masses be songe over it, then fumigate it with fumigations, ut supra, and
sprincle him with water above coniured, and then put him uppe in a cleane cloth as
followeth of silke, and in the puttinge upe say,

Psalms and
the
conjuration
with that in
Book 1,

on
preparing
the
pentacles.
Often times carta membrana aut bombace aut edina aut pecornia, in experiments and
artes be very necessary. Let that parchment be taken and consecrated as followeth. First put
in the earthen cuppe sence [=incense], conjured as it is said of fumigationswith quicke coles
[=live coals], and say these Psalmes haldinge the parchment over the fumigation,

domine deus noster; domine exaudi; deus deus meus; respice; domine [quis]
habitabit [Ps14]; quam dilecta [Ps83];

with this coniuration,

Bismelet, Sadomos, Theophilos,Domine deus pater omnipotens qui omnia in

sapientia condidisti qui habraam patrem fidelem in seruum diligisti eius semen
sicut stellas multiplicasti qui moysi seruo tuo de medio rubo inflamma [Ex3:2];
ignea apparuisti et nomen quod est, Ehyhye, essor, affor [=Eheieh Asher Eheieh]
reuelasti qui populum super mare ficcis pedibus ambulare fecisti, qui moysi seruo
tuo in monte Synay, legem Saluationis dedisti; qui Salomoni filio regis Dauid
precunctis hominibus, sapientiam tribuisti tuam supplex adoro maiestatem
suppliciter et tuam imploro miserecordiam ut in virtute tua iste carte consecrentur
et preparentur, quemadmodum[63r]conuenit et virtutem quam obtinere debent
obtineant per te Sanctissime Adonaye cuius regnum sine fine per manet in secula
seculorum Amen.

Then sprincle it with water and Isope, and then let 3 masses be sayd ouer the
parchment, and put him in a silke cloth, and let the scholers bear the paper or parchment into
the circle when they make there Artes, and bringe pen and Inke such as is sayd, upon the
which paper ye must write all your petitions, and all thinges that the spiritts do tell you.
[Chap 19.] Of the Carecters.31 31. Cp.
Mathers

If any man will make any arte or experiment wherein it is necessary to make Carecters
in any part, let him write after this holy name, in the beginninge of the carecters, and in the
end this name, Eye, Asserey, he, Asnolys, in virgin papire consecrated with yourpenne and
Inke, and say over this name, Our Lady mattens and cause 9 masses to be songe over it, and
beare it with thee, in a cleane cloth as it is sayed, of ye silke cloth, and as oft as ye[63v]will,
write carecters in the beginninge and in the endinge of the Carecters, write this holy name
abovesaid sayinge,

Altissime creator omnium Creaturarum per tuam miserecordiam et potestatem tuo

sanctissimo nomini quod ibi scriptum est impone virtutem ut sit custos carectarum
istorum ut nulla fallacia sit in eis.

When ytis sayd, and donne, write secretly the carecters that ye will make, and ye shall
never be deceived in any.
[Chap 20.] Of Sacrifyces.32 32. Cp.
Mathers

In many artes ye must doe sacrifice to the duills [=devils] of diverse sacrifices, some
doth sacrifice of Blacke beastes and white, some of Blacke birdes or white, some of the
bloud of them, some take a gift of carecters or of scripture, some do sacrifice of meate or
drinke, and if ye doe sacrifice of beasts that Beast of what condition soever it be, must be
virginall, for they will the gladder and sooner receive them, and obey.

If ye doe[64r]sacrifice of the bloud of beastes or byrdes, they must be pure and

virginall, for the lesse that any thinge is corrupted the more efficacye it hath, They that
sacrificeth of giftes or of Scripture, these giftes must be overgilded or paynted with some
sure collour, and before ye reche any sacrifice to spiritts say over that sacrifice,

Vos quibus hoc sacrificium datur vel debetur, estote parati ad seruiendum mihi.

Then fumigate it with fumigations before rehersed, and sprincle it with coniured water
and keepe it soe ordayned as longe as ye will, for the spiritts as it is contayned in the arte, to
doe sacrifice.

They ytdoe sacrifice of meate and drinke, must make a Table without the circle ready
with a Table cloth, with bread wine and water and cocks rosted, sayinge when they be
 prepared,

Ubi estis vos qui coniurati estis ad hoc prandium vel ad hanc cenam que seruitis

If any thinge be consecrated by any occation, it must be put in a silke cloth or white
linen, and cleane, as thinges be of more price, that be consecrated, Therefore take a silke
cloth of whatsoeuer coullor it be, and write these Carecters followinge upon it:

[22. Of the work of images.]34 34. Cp.
ad36674
II.xx.
Let noe man marvayle of this chapter for all the science of this booke is contayned in
this chapter and therefore he did assimulate this title of theImages of Astrologye which be
innumerable, for it seemeth impossible to collect the science of this booke in one.

First ye must consider that noe experiment whether he be smale or greate can be made
 and therefore the makers of artes and experiments that knoweth not this booke can never
come to effect of any thinge. Therefore it seemeth as a worke of Images to reade this worke
but he must reade from the beginninge to the ending if ye will bringe any experiment to
effect. Therefore I desire him that shall have this worke, that he deliver it to noe man, for the
more he reade in artes and experiments the lesse he shall know, if he[65v]keepe not this holy
worke with a pure heart if ye will be perfect in this science.

First ye must exercise in the beginninge of the operation of this worke, on day and
in his howre in the augmenting of the moon. Prepare artanus such as we spake of before, in
the chapters of knyfes, and prepare artanus and tarry for the day of mercury and his howre in
the augmentinge of the moone, and prepare water and Isope soe as we have said. And that in
any day of mercury and his howre in the augmentinge of the moone, prepare for the silke
cloth as it is sayd.

All this prepared, any Chapter of this booke that ye will make, looke for mercuryes
day and his howre in the augmt of the moone and in that houre make all thinges ready that is
contayned in that Chapter. And when ye will consecrate any thinge, of any other chapter, let
it be in a secret place as it is said[66r]above of places, and that houre have potts prepared
with coles and spices coniured, and candles coniured makinge a fumigation and have
lightes, and water and Isope prepared, and when ye will consecrate any chapter, when it is
consecrated put it uppe in such a cloth as we have said, and soe of every chapter, and when
all thinges be collected consecrated and prepared, then put them all in a silke cloth, and
cause 9 masses to be sayed over them. Then ye must looke for the day and the houre
wherein ye must beginne and end, and that, that shall be necessary in this arte, ye shall take
them without the cloth without any solemnitie, and when ye have wrought, put them in the
cloth and soe of all other artes.

And therefore in this Chapter is breefly comprehended all the Science of this booke,
and in it is the beginninge and endinge of the Clavicle of Salomon, wherefore ye must keepe
this booke secrett.
